Lacazette and Kolasinac benched as Deulofeu absent

2,714 Comments

A number of Fantasy Premier League options have missed out on places in the starting line-ups of Watford vs Arsenal.

Alexandre Lacazette (£9.4m) has been named on the bench with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.9m) leading the line on his own.

Alex Iwobi (£5.4m), Aaron Ramsey (£7.1m) and Henrikh Mkhitaryan (£6.7m) are the attacking midfielders behind him.

Also among the substitutes for Arsenal is Sead Kolasinac (£5.0m), with Nacho Monreal (£5.4m) handed the left-back berth.

Making his first start of the season at centre-back is Konstantinos Mavropanos (£4.7m).

Whether he will be able to help the Gunners to a first Premier League clean sheet on the road in 2018/19 remains to be seen.

Troy Deeney (£5.9m) might fancy his chances against the inexperienced defender, as he makes his 12th start in Watford’s last 13 league matches.

However, he is not joined by Gerard Deulofeu (£5.6m) in the side, the Spanish midfielder entirely as he deals with an ankle problem picked up in the FA Cup final.

Andre Gray (£5.9m) comes in first start since Gameweek 30.

Watford XI: Foster; Janmaat, Kabasele, Cathcart, Masina; Kiko Femenía, Capoue, Doucouré; Hughes; Deeney, Gray.

Arsenal XI: Leno; Mustafi, Koscielny, Mavropanos, Monreal; Torreira, Xhaka; Mkhitaryan, Ramsey, Iwobi; Aubameyang.

    Spurs have 3 games in one week, so any thoughts on how much Son plays? CL is a given, but I would guess he plays just one of the DGW.

        I thought the tough decisions were done. Free hit. Wildcard and now this. The very reason I felt Jiminez and Deeney together was risky was due to the lack of flexibility down the line.. didn’t think it would bite so quickly !

            He’s red flagged so I think his price drops will be slower than usual. Tricky one. I’m fortunate enough to have 0.1m in the bank so can afford to wait.

    What I'm currently considering is Duffy, Eriksen, Deeney > VVD, Deulofeu, Rashford (-8).

    I can't see any strikers that I want to replace Deeney with at the same price and always wanted Rash for 37/38, I think he's one of the few players that will care about performing at home in final fixture. VVD only has a single GW but I'm far more confident of him getting a CS than I would be over Watford and Southampton with doubles and I have one each of them anyway. The negative is that this means I definitely won't have Salah for 36 so I'll hide under my duvet for the weekend and hope for two cleansheets from TAA/VVD.
